Phish just eliminated the Ween White Pepper album from their Halloween set teaser on their website.
I really dig how Jamtopia is laying it out for everyone. That site gets an A+ in detail-oriented fandom that we can hardly ever hope to achieve. Kudos.
Billboard tells us that Wolfgang’s Vault will open it’s entire concert catalog beginning in November, offering paid downloads and an annual premium membership on top of their current streaming services:
Leading up to the Nov. 3 “Cracking the Vault Day” blowout, Wolfgang’s Vault — which recently logged its 100 millionth streamed show — is offering a small amount of new shows twice weekly. The site just put up a Grateful Dead concerts (from May 15, 1970 at the Fillmore East in New York City); future releases include Janis Joplin, Aretha Franklin and Bonnie Raitt (Oct. 2), Hall & Oates and Boz Scaggs (Oct. 6), Santana and Chicago (Oct. 9), Lou Reed (Oct. 13), Miles Davis, Weather Report and Mahavishnu Orchestra (Oct. 16), Twisted Sister and the Ramones (Oct. 20), the Byrds, Dolly Parton and Waylon Jennings (Oct. 23), Cheap Trick (Oct. 27) and Mountain (Oct. 30). Newly streaming shows from Dylan and Pink Floyd will also become available on Oct. 30.
They’ve got a pretty serious collection over there. Good news for live music fanatics!
It looks like Hulu will be streaming live from the Austin City Limits festival this weekend. You may remember iClips.net also announcing a live stream for ACL fest. As such, I thought for a minute that these might have been two separate streams. But I’ve just confirmed with Nate at iClips that this is, in fact, the same live stream which iClips.net is just syndicating to Hulu.
Speaking of the Austin City Limits Festival, over at the ACL fest blog they just posted a 16-song sampler of bands that are playing this weekend. The digital sampler is available for free at iTunes with a redemption code.
Carrie at Monitor Mix rounded up the great clips from the Bon Iver concert this past weekend at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery, and our friend Aaron sent us his own summary of what it felt like to be there:

On Saturday night, I clocked in a third night of a full weekend of live music in NYC with a bangin’ finale: Brothers Past at the Bowery Ballroom with The Indobox opening.
Jambands.com tells us that Garage a Trois is re-forming for a tour in December with Marco Benevento in Charlie Hunter’s normal spot. Looks like they’re playing some West Coast dates and then a few choice spots on the East Coast. Although it won’t be the same without Charlie on the 8-string guitar, Benevento is one hell of a replacement. Yes, please.
